How we handle sink repair in Vassa
We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Vassa. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Vassa: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Vassa included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Vassa?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Vassa as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
