Sink repair in Norton Lees, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and fine cracks across the glaze.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Norton Lees
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Landlord and trade work in Norton Lees
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sheffield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
