Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Settlingstones
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Signs you need sink repair in Settlingstones
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What affects the price in Settlingstones
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
