Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to compare quotes

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about sink repair in Woodhouse Mill

Do you come to Woodhouse Mill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woodhouse Mill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Woodhouse Mill and the rest of Sheffield. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
