Sink repair in North Whilborough without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace in North Whilborough?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What we are called out for in North Whilborough
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
Before booking anyone

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
