Advice
Sink repair at your home in Starbotton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Starbotton
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Starbotton questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Starbotton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
