Sink repair in Billington without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
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.

What else we do in Billington
Landlord and trade work in Billington
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Billington: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Billington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Billington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What affects the price in Billington
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
