If you manage property in Lower Hirst, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Sink repair in Lower Hirst, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts 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.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Common questions in Lower Hirst
How do I get a price for sink repair in Lower Hirst?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
