Sink repair in Badbury, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Landlord and trade work in Badbury
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Badbury. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SN4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
