Repair or replace in Belah?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Sink repair in Belah, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Common questions in Belah
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

- A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Belah, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
