Sink repair at your home in Danescourt
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Danescourt
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
Read our prices page.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
FAQs for Danescourt
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What affects the price in Danescourt
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
