Sink repair in Ringshall Stocks without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and an original basin worth saving.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

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
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
