Your questions about sink repair in Lower Gravenhurst
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you work in Lower Gravenhurst?
We do. We send a technician to Lower Gravenhurst for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Sink repair in Lower Gravenhurst without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need sink repair in Lower Gravenhurst?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips around the rim
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairing versus replacing in Lower Gravenhurst
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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 the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
