Sink repair in Sabden, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sabden as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Sabden
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
