Sink repair at your home in Etterby
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Etterby: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Do you cover Etterby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Etterby. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
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, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
