Sink repair in Knowle, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Knowle and across Solihull.

Landlord and trade work in Knowle
For anyone letting property in or around Knowle, 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. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Knowle
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Knowle questions
How do I get a price for sink repair in Knowle?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your B93 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you cover Knowle?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Knowle. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of Solihull?
We work UK-wide, so Knowle is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
