About our sink repair in Silkstone
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Silkstone. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Silkstone, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Silkstone
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
