Sink repair in East Carleton without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
