What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we handle sink repair in Northwood
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and fine cracks across the glaze, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
