About our sink repair in The Hummicks
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Hummicks. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks

The Hummicks questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does sink repair cost in The Hummicks?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Hummicks use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
