About our sink repair in Primethorpe
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
What we’re called out for in Primethorpe
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners

- If travel is included in the price

What affects the price in Primethorpe
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Primethorpe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
