Sink repair at your home in Egremont
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Egremont
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace in Egremont?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

FAQs for Egremont
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in Egremont
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
