Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Smethwick: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Smethwick?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
