Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we handle sink repair in Unthank
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you do not 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 will come back with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Unthank
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover Unthank?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Unthank. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in Unthank
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
