Sink repair at your home in Morley Smithy
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
We price from photos 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Morley Smithy
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
