Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Buttermere

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
FAQs for Buttermere
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Buttermere and the rest of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
