Sink repair in Benville, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common problems we fix in Benville
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Benville
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover Benville?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Benville from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?
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 photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
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 is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
