- Repairs from £95
- A crazed, tired basin

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Sink repair in Halleaths, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped vanity basin.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What affects the price in Halleaths
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- 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 combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Halleaths questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Halleaths?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Halleaths. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
