The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Northlew, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about sink repair in Northlew
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Northlew. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Northlew
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
