How we handle sink repair in Saxby
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Saxby. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Saxby
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saxby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
Signs you need sink repair in Saxby
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
