Sink repair in Summerfield without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
