Sink repair at your home in Fareham
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.
Fareham: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Fareham
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we are called out for in Fareham

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
