Sink Repair in Ore
Our repair technicians come to Ore for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How we handle sink repair in Ore
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Ore
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
