About our sink repair in Bielside
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
FAQs for Bielside
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How to get 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.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Bielside
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
For a price in Bielside, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Bielside
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
