DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Landlord and trade work in Cowling
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
