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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Catterline
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Catterline, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Catterline
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Catterline?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When to call us in Catterline
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts 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.
