Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
FAQs for Knowle
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you cover Knowle?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Knowle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.

Do you need sink repair in Knowle?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
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.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Knowle. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
