About our sink repair in Mackney
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, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about sink repair in Mackney
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Mackney. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mackney use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Signs you need sink repair in Mackney
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
