Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Sink repair in Slingsby without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Slingsby
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

- Knocks from hair straighteners
