Sink repair in Handsworth without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Handsworth and across Birmingham.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Handsworth questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does sink repair cost in Handsworth?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Repair or replace in Handsworth?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
