Sink Repair in Vellow
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Vellow, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
About our sink repair in Vellow
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.

- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Vellow questions
How much does sink repair cost in Vellow?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you cover Vellow?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Vellow for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Vellow get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
