Sink repair in Ullenwood without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Ullenwood: your questions answered
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you cover Ullenwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ullenwood. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
