About our sink repair in Austerby
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Austerby
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Austerby. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Austerby questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Repairing versus replacing in Austerby
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
