About our sink repair in Farewell
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
In a village like Farewell, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Farewell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere as small as Farewell, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the sink repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about sink repair in Farewell
Do you work for schools and businesses in Farewell?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Farewell?
Generally: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we will advise.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you come to Farewell?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Farewell and the rest of Staffordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Farewell
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Older homes around Farewell may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
