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 and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Sink repair in Scriven without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Scriven, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
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 few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses 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.
