What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Osbaldeston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Osbaldeston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
