Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Addlethorpe
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Your questions about sink repair in Addlethorpe
Do you work in Addlethorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Addlethorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
