Sink repair in Smithfield without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Smithfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Smithfield: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you come to Smithfield?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Smithfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Smithfield?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
