Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for New Ridley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in New Ridley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in New Ridley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around New Ridley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not 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.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
