Sink repair in Gravelly Hill, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gravelly Hill and across Birmingham.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- 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 tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Gravelly Hill questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Gravelly Hill?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Birmingham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gravelly Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
