Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
About our sink repair in Driby Top
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Driby Top, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairing versus replacing in Driby Top
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- The size and number of damaged areas

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
