How we handle sink repair in Upper Arncott
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What else we do in Upper Arncott
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare

Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Upper Arncott
Are there extra charges for Upper Arncott?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
