How we handle sink repair in Upper Holme
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upper Holme. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Upper Holme
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Upper Holme is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we are called out for in Upper Holme
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
