How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Common questions in Street End
Do you take on commercial work in Street End?
Yes, and we’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Street End?
Typically: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We will give you an honest view from photos.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Street End?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Street End for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. In a village or hamlet like Street End, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the sink repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Older homes around Street End may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
