Your questions about sink repair in Atherington
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Atherington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Signs you need sink repair in Atherington
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
