  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Sink repair in Bluetown without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Bluetown

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Bluetown.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use mild cleaners only

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
