Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Sink repair at your home in Stanton by Bridge
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
