Sink repair in Butetown, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Butetown, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing in Butetown
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Butetown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Butetown
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
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.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What else we do in Butetown
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, 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 trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
