Sink repair at your home in Riseholme
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Riseholme: your questions answered

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
