Sink repair at your home in Butcher's Common
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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.

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we are called out for in Butcher's Common
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
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.
Butcher's Common: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Butcher's Common included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Butcher's Common?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
