Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Town, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Sink repair in Town without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Town?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Town
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Town. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Town questions
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Merthyr Tydfil. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Town?
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.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
