We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and crazing in the glaze.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Questions from Fetterangus

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fetterangus. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
