- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Sink repair in Riley Green without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and crazing in the glaze, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Repair or replace in Riley Green?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
