How we handle sink repair in Adbolton
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Adbolton
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Adbolton
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work in Adbolton?
We do. We send a technician to Adbolton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
