How we handle sink repair in Foxearth
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Foxearth
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Foxearth, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about sink repair in Foxearth
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Foxearth.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
