How we handle sink repair in Balmore
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 are often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Balmore
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Look out for these signs:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
