Sink repair in Islip without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often 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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the whole UK

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Islip: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Islip?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
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 you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 the same day in most cases.
Islip and the surrounding area
Islip is about 7 miles east of Kettering, in Northamptonshire. Our technicians come to homes and businesses in Islip and the surrounding area, so there’s no workshop to go to. Islip is one of 364 towns and villages in Northamptonshire we cover. Our jobs stretch from Islip to Birmingham (57 miles away).
All of NN14 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You’ll find streets such as Rushmere Close, Drayton Close and Mill Road, and we cover them all. Neighbouring places we cover include Thrapston (1 mile south-east), Lowick (1 mile north-west), Denford (2 miles south), Woodford (2 miles south-west) and Aldwincle (2 miles north-east).

Further afield, we also cover the area around Thrapston Chancery Lane (0.7 miles south-east). The countryside around Islip includes Titchmarsh Nature Reserve.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Islip
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
