What affects the price in Poolsbrook
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Sink repair at your home in Poolsbrook
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
FAQs for Poolsbrook
How do I get a price for sink repair in Poolsbrook?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you work in Poolsbrook?
We do. We send a technician to Poolsbrook for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairing versus replacing in Poolsbrook
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
