Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homes and businesses in Windmill Hill and across Halton. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Windmill Hill: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?

Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
