Sink repair in High Cross, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including High Cross. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in High Cross, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

High Cross questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you come to High Cross?
We do. We send a technician to High Cross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day.
