Repair or replace in Bugle?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Sink repair at your home in Bugle
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bugle questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For a price in Bugle, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
