When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Apperley questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95.
