Sink & basin repair in Birlingham, Worcestershire

- Repairs from £95

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Sink repair in Birlingham without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Birlingham
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Birlingham: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Birlingham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
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.
