Landlords, agents and businesses in Garth Row
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we handle sink repair in Garth Row
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Garth Row and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Garth Row questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Garth Row?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA8 postcode.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Are there extra charges for Garth Row?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
