When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Knotting. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Knotting: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
