How we handle sink repair in New York
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you have a chipped basin edge and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
Somewhere like New York, you may still have period sanitaryware, and those are worth keeping. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Your questions about sink repair in New York
Can you restore the original basins in an older house in New York?
Typically, yes. Older basins are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Send us photos and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do you work for schools and businesses in New York?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it. Somewhere like New York needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- 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 to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
