Sink repair at your home in New England
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and an antique basin with chips.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

New England: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
