Sink repair at your home in Brownbread Street
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Is repairing better than replacing?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
