Sink repair in Sinfin, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Sinfin
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sinfin. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
