Sink Repair for Austerlands homes
We travel to Austerlands for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Austerlands
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Common questions in Austerlands
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work in Austerlands?
We do. We send a technician to Austerlands for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What else we do in Austerlands
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before you book

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
