About our sink repair in Old Hutton
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Old Hutton. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Your questions about sink repair in Old Hutton
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Old Hutton included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- 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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
