Sink repair in Astrop, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Astrop: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
