How we handle sink repair in Foster Street
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foster Street
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace in Foster Street?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?

- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Questions from Foster Street
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Foster Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
