What affects the price in Silecroft
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How we handle sink repair in Silecroft
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, 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.
