DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What affects the price in Upper Hartshay
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Hartshay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used 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.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Questions from Upper Hartshay
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How much does sink repair cost in Upper Hartshay?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
