Sink repair at your home in Copster Green
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Copster Green
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Are there extra charges for Copster Green?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we are called out for in Copster Green
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
