How we handle sink repair in Mashbury
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. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Mashbury: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I fix it myself?
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 photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
