What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How we handle sink repair in Coven Heath
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and chips on the rim or front edge, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: 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.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
