Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kirkby-in-Furness, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

FAQs for Kirkby-in-Furness
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
