What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What else we do in Binsted
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Common questions in Binsted
How much does sink repair cost in Binsted?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
