How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Bartle
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
