Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Sockbridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
About our sink repair in Sockbridge
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sockbridge. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What else we do in Sockbridge
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
