Sink repair in New Boston, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for New Boston. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
