Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business

Sink repair in Blacker Hill without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
