Sink repair in Romsey without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Romsey
What affects the price in Romsey
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When to call us in Romsey
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
