About our sink repair in Smith's End
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Smith's End questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Smith's End included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
