When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How we handle sink repair in Petteridge
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped basin edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Signs you need sink repair in Petteridge
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Petteridge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
