Sink repair at your home in Over
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Over: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Over?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB24 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Over
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
