Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Sink repair in St James, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and chips on the rim or front edge, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in St James and across Norfolk.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in St James, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
