Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Sink repair in Bowhill without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Questions from Bowhill
Do you restore period basins?

Can pets and children be at home?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bowhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before booking

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
