Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Common questions in Waterslack
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Waterslack?
We do. Technicians travel to Waterslack from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Waterslack?

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Signs you need sink repair in Waterslack
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
