Sink repair in Trevithal, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Advice
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.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

- Fine cracks across the glaze

Before booking anyone

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
