Sink repair at your home in Wythop Mill
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wythop Mill. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
