About our sink repair in Whitwell Street
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
If you’re in Whitwell Street and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Questions from Whitwell Street
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Whitwell Street?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR10 postcode.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
