Sink repair in Bardsea without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Bardsea
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Bardsea included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Bardsea?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
