Sink repair in Cartsdyke without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
