Sink repair at your home in High Flatts
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in High Flatts
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Advice
FAQs for High Flatts
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
When to call us in High Flatts
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for High Flatts. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
