Sink Repair for Adber homes
Sink repair across Adber and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.

How we handle sink repair in Adber
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Adber questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Adber?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Adber. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need sink repair in Adber?

- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
