Sink repair in Ramsey Hollow without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

When to call us in Ramsey Hollow
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to care for the finish
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
The process
Once we’re through the door, 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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Ramsey Hollow questions
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
