Advice
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
