Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to New Houses. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in New Houses get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace in New Houses?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
