- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tavernspite use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Tavernspite questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What else we do in Tavernspite
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common problems we fix in Tavernspite
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
