Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Middlestone Moor questions
Do you work in Middlestone Moor?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Middlestone Moor. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
