About our sink repair in Seatoller
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Seatoller and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Seatoller. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Seatoller, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about sink repair in Seatoller
Do you come to Seatoller?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Seatoller. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
