About our sink repair in Cavendish
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Cavendish
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cavendish. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Cavendish customers choose us

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
