About our sink repair in Birdholme
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Birdholme
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Birdholme
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.

What else we do in Birdholme
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
