Sink repair in Bouldnor 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 are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Bouldnor questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
