Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

About our sink repair in Bilbrough
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bilbrough use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
We price from photos so you do not 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.
FAQs for Bilbrough
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
