Sink Repair for St Michael's Hamlet homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in St Michael's Hamlet, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Sink repair in St Michael's Hamlet without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and a chipped vanity basin, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. 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.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
