Sink repair in Upper Hoyland without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need sink repair in Upper Hoyland
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
