About sink repair in Leicestershire

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are knocks from hair straighteners and a crack near the taps.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

What you’ll pay

Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leicestershire use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

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.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
