Sink repair in Askam in Furness without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Askam in Furness questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Askam in Furness. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Askam in Furness get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
