Sink repair in Sower Carr without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

FAQs for Sower Carr
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repairing versus replacing in Sower Carr
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Other services in Sower Carr
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
