About our sink repair in Minety Common
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Minety Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
