How we handle sink repair in Moorhouse
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairing versus replacing in Moorhouse
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your pictures
See our full price list.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
