Sink repair in Pipe Aston, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
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. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about sink repair in Pipe Aston
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
