How we handle sink repair in Holdenby
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Holdenby and across Northamptonshire.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Holdenby questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Holdenby and the rest of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NN6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually 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.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
