Our sink repair service in Leicester

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Repairing versus replacing

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best.

Signs you need sink repair

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A crazed, tired basin

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Questions from Leicester

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Leicester?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
