Sink repair at your home in Goverseth
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crazed, tired basin and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Goverseth: your questions answered
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Repairing versus replacing in Goverseth
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. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Goverseth. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
