Sink repair at your home in St Nicholas
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in St Nicholas
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in St Nicholas
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
St Nicholas questions
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you come to St Nicholas?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to St Nicholas and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
