Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How we handle sink repair in Palacefields
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We are often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Palacefields, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Your questions about sink repair in Palacefields
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover Palacefields?
We do. We send a technician to Palacefields for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
