How we handle sink repair in Drayton
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

- Chips from dropped toiletries

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Drayton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you come to Drayton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Drayton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
