From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tantany and across Sandwell.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Tantany, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Tantany
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving

Questions from Tantany
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are there extra charges for Tantany?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
