Sink repair in East Street without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Somewhere like East Street, you may still have period sanitaryware, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We work around original marks where possible.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Landlord and trade work in East Street
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
East Street: your questions answered
Do you take on commercial work in East Street?
Yes, and we are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited. We will agree timings that suit the building.
My house in East Street is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
