Sink repair at your home in Mitchell
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mitchell
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Mitchell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mitchell. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Mitchell questions
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
