Sink repair in St Peter’s without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

St Peter’s questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are there extra charges for St Peter’s?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
