Birkin questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What we are called out for in Birkin
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Common reasons people in Birkin contact us include:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
Advice

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
