Sink repair in Throckley, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and fine cracks across the glaze.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material
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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Throckley: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Throckley?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
