Sink repair in Toronto without replacing anything
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Other services in Toronto
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Toronto, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 carefully around original features.
Toronto: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Toronto. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Toronto?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Toronto. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
