Sink repair in Wheelton without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include a crazed, tired basin and chips on the rim or front edge, in Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Common problems we fix in Wheelton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
