How we handle sink repair in Spixworth
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
