Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
About our sink repair in Monkton Farleigh
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

FAQs for Monkton Farleigh
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
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 clears as the materials cure.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
