Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 and leave the character intact.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

Old Grimsby: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
If you are in Old Grimsby and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
