Sink repair in Pityme, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We are often asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pityme. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL27 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
