Sink repair in Fowlmere without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Fowlmere questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Fowlmere?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fowlmere and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you need sink repair in Fowlmere?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

What else we do in Fowlmere
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 generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. 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.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Fowlmere
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fowlmere use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
