DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 at your home in Hillbutts
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Hillbutts get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
