Sink repair in Tow Law without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Tow Law

Landlord and trade work in Tow Law

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
