Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Barrow upon Soar. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
