How we handle sink repair in Folly Town
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and a chipped vanity basin, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Folly Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN25 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
