Sink repair in Solfach without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
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
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Questions from Solfach
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Should you replace it?
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. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
