Sink repair in Charlestown without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What else we do in Charlestown
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Charlestown. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our pricing.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Charlestown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
