Sink repair in Waterrow without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and fine cracks across the glaze.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Waterrow
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When to call us in Waterrow
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
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.

Near you in Waterrow
Typical jobs here are in homes near Church of All Saints, Rock Inn and Kingsmead School, among other places. Further afield, we also cover the area around Pepperpot Castle (4.3 miles north-west).
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What affects the price in Waterrow
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
