Sink repair in Poynders End without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Poynders End
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
