About our sink repair in Seaburn
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Seaburn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Seaburn
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does sink repair cost in Seaburn?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you cover Seaburn?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Seaburn. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Seaburn, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
