Sink repair in Southam, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Your questions about sink repair in Southam
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work in Southam?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Southam for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Southam. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
