DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle sink repair in Normanby
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Normanby
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
