The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve 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’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price

Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
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 usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks

Questions from Axtown
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
