About our sink repair in East Orchard
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and fine cracks across the glaze.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

Other services in East Orchard
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Orchard
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to East Orchard. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
