Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Wath upon Dearne: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Barnsley.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Wath upon Dearne?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
