About our sink repair in Prestonville
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Prestonville, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Your questions about sink repair in Prestonville
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
