If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle sink repair in Upper End
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Upper End, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
