When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
