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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Sink repair in Uppermill without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Uppermill
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Uppermill
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
