How we handle sink repair in Blackhall
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and chips from dropped toiletries.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Same prices wherever you are

Your questions about sink repair in Blackhall
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
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.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
