DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Sink repair in Astbury without replacing anything
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 Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Common questions in Astbury
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What affects the price in Astbury
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Astbury. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
