About our sink repair in Penny Bridge
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
FAQs for Penny Bridge
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you come to Penny Bridge?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Penny Bridge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
