DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WF11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Byram
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
How much does sink repair cost in Byram?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Byram?
We do. We send a technician to Byram for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Signs you need sink repair in Byram
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
