Sink repair in Little Ribston, 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 work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped basin edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common questions in Little Ribston
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Little Ribston. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Little Ribston, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Little Ribston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Little Ribston
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
