Sink repair in Millhouses without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Landlord and trade work in Millhouses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Your questions about sink repair in Millhouses
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Common problems we fix in Millhouses
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
