Sink repair in Hackney Marshes, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and an antique basin with chips, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Repair or replace in Hackney Marshes?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
