How we handle sink repair in Northern Quarter
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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.
When to call us in Northern Quarter
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
