Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Millerston
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Millerston. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Millerston
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Millerston.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
