Sink repair in Tilbrook without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
For a price in Tilbrook, 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.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
