About our sink repair in Ostend
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Ostend: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Repair or replace in Ostend?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Ostend
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Ostend
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
