Common questions in Lower Common
How much does sink repair cost in Lower Common?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How we handle sink repair in Lower Common
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and chips around the rim.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Lower Common
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
