Sink repair in Welby without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Welby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Welby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Welby questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

When to call us in Welby

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips
  • A chipped vanity basin

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
