Sink repair in Hill Street, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on a built-in basin and fine cracks across the glaze.

Landlord and trade work in Hill Street
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Hill Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
If you are in Hill Street and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
