How we handle sink repair in Collennan
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures

FAQs for Collennan
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
