When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Sink repair at your home in Elborough
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and crazing in the glaze, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Elborough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.
