How we handle sink repair in Boarhunt
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Boarhunt as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Boarhunt
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Boarhunt, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Boarhunt
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boarhunt use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Boarhunt. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Boarhunt
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
