Sink repair in Deneside, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and a crack near the taps.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
