Sink repair in East Street without replacing anything
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for East Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for East Street
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for East Street?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Landlord and trade work in East Street
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
