Sink repair at your home in Holloway
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What else we do in Holloway
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Holloway questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
