Sink repair in Portway, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips around the rim, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
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.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common problems we fix in Portway
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
