Sink repair at your home in St Thomas
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze.

What affects the price in St Thomas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode

Questions from St Thomas
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in St Thomas
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
