Sink repair at your home in Northfield
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find.

Northfield: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Northfield?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Northfield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Northfield, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
