Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Bowbrook
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bowbrook.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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 are working that clears as it cures.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Common problems we fix in Bowbrook
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
