Sink repair in Apethorpe, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Apethorpe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Apethorpe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Apethorpe?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE8 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Apethorpe. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Apethorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Apethorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
