What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Astwood, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Astwood. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Astwood, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Do you need sink repair in Astwood?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

- A chipped vanity basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
Before booking anyone

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
