Sink repair in Murton without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Murton
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Murton
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Murton. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, 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.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Murton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
