When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Woodthorpe
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
