When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about sink repair in Ramsey
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need sink repair in Ramsey?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips around the rim
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the whole UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
