How we handle sink repair in Troutbeck Bridge
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Troutbeck Bridge: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Repair or replace in Troutbeck Bridge?

What else we do in Troutbeck Bridge
What affects the price in Troutbeck Bridge
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
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.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes 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.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
Advice
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
