How we handle sink repair in Sharrington
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material

Sharrington questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
