Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in No Man's Land

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Common reasons people in No Man's Land contact us include:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

No Man's Land: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I get a price for sink repair in No Man's Land?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Landlord and trade work in No Man's Land

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
