For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Walkford questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Do you need sink repair in Walkford?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
