Sink repair in Northmoor, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Northmoor, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Northmoor
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Your questions about sink repair in Northmoor
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Northmoor.
Different materials, different repairs
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 them sympathetically.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
