When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

- A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Sandy
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Central Bedfordshire.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Sandy?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
