Sink repair at your home in Solihull
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.
Your questions about sink repair in Solihull
Do you cover the entire of Solihull?
Everywhere in the UK, Solihull included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

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 price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Solihull
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
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, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
