Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair at your home in Townhead
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Townhead. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Townhead
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Townhead
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
