Sink repair at your home in Carrbrook
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
See our prices page.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
