Sink repair at your home in Salterbeck
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we are called out for in Salterbeck
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Salterbeck, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What else we do in Salterbeck
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why Salterbeck customers choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Work done at your home or business
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
