- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Sink repair at your home in Benslie
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped toiletries and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Benslie
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Benslie: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Benslie?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Benslie. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benslie use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in Benslie
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
