Sink repair at your home in Unstone
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and fine cracks across the glaze.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Unstone
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing

Questions from Unstone
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
