Sink & basin repair in Hay Mills, Birmingham
Sink repair in and around Hay Mills: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Sink repair in Hay Mills, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare

Common questions in Hay Mills
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Hay Mills?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hay Mills for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
