Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
