Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Your questions about sink repair in Belstead
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Belstead customers choose us
- Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
