Sink repair in Laverstock, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Laverstock: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Laverstock?
We do. We send a technician to Laverstock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
