Sink repair in Old Tree without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about sink repair in Old Tree
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need sink repair in Old Tree
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Old Tree
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
