About our sink repair in Pear Ash
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips.
In and around Pear Ash, older homes can have basins that are hard to replace like for like. A repair keeps everything matching.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon. In a village or hamlet like Pear Ash, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Pear Ash
I let a flat near Gillingham (Dorset) station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do.
My house in Pear Ash is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Generally, yes. Older basins are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Send us pictures and we will tell you what’s possible.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Repair or replace in Pear Ash?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Replacement in Pear Ash means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
