Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Salwick and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Salwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Salwick. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise 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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Salwick
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
Salwick questions
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Salwick?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
