How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sparkbrook
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Sparkbrook: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Do you need sink repair in Sparkbrook?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
