About our sink repair in Milking Bank
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Milking Bank
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Milking Bank, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Milking Bank
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
