Sink repair in Botternell, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace in Botternell?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Botternell
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Questions from Botternell
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Botternell?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
