Sink repair in Minster without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Minster
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Minster. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
FAQs for Minster
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
