We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Royston questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
