Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need sink repair in Osgodby?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Osgodby. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
