Sink repair in Great Kelk, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Great Kelk. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
For a price in Great Kelk, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Antique & period basins

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
