Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our full price list.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BS40 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hounsley Batch, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we are called out for in Hounsley Batch
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

What do you need from me?

What your basin is made of matters
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 them sympathetically.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
