Sink repair at your home in St Lawrence
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Lawrence as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Questions from St Lawrence
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you come to St Lawrence?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to St Lawrence from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for St Lawrence?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
