Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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 in Twitton without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Twitton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about sink repair in Twitton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Twitton included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Twitton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
