About our sink repair in Raughton Head
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Raughton Head. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Read our pricing.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
