About our sink repair in Holyfield
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin, we can normally put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
In and around Holyfield, older homes can have basins that are hard to replace like for like. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Holyfield. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Holyfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holyfield use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again. For a rural address like Holyfield, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the sink repair, so there is no second trip.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. For a rural home like those around Holyfield, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while sink repair is one trip.
Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
