Repair or replace in Waterside?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- One price list for the entire UK
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Do you need sink repair in Waterside?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterside
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Waterside
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins

Common questions in Waterside
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
