What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair in West Markham without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped vanity basin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

West Markham: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

Repair or replace in West Markham?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
