Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Sink repair in Barston without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped basin edge and fine cracks across the glaze, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Barston. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Barston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 generally cheaper.
Your questions about sink repair in Barston
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
