DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
