Your questions about sink repair in Belthorn
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How much does sink repair cost in Belthorn?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
