Signs you need sink repair in Baliscate
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What else we do in Baliscate
Baliscate: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
