What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Sink repair in St Jude's, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Questions from St Jude's
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to St Jude's?
We do. Technicians travel to St Jude's from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
