Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place
See our prices page.
Sink repair in Linfitts, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
