Can I fix it myself?
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 usually 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Sink repair in Bush Fair without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Bush Fair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bush Fair. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Bush Fair
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
