Sink repair at your home in Searby
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
Do you need sink repair in Searby?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Searby questions
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Advice
What affects the price in Searby
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
