What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Signs you need sink repair in Newchapel

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
