Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One price list for the whole UK

What we are called out for in Castle Eden
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Castle Eden. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Castle Eden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
