DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Sink repair in Saxelbye without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Saxelbye
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Saxelbye
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
