Sink repair in Upper Knowle, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Upper Knowle
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Upper Knowle
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Knowle, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
