How we handle sink repair in Bower Heath
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your AL5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
