Sink repair in Yarbridge without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and a crack near the taps.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Yarbridge
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PO36 postcode.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
