About our sink repair in Billington

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Whether it’s a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge, we can usually put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Billington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
