Sink repair in Faifley without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price

Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Faifley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, 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. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are

FAQs for Faifley
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Faifley?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Faifley

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
