Sink repair in Althorpe, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are crazing in the glaze and chips on a built-in basin.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Lincolnshire.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Althorpe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Althorpe: your questions answered
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of North Lincolnshire?
The whole UK, including all of North Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Althorpe. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Althorpe, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
