Repairing versus replacing in Telegraph Hill
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Sink repair at your home in Telegraph Hill
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Telegraph Hill
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Telegraph Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Telegraph Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Telegraph Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
