Sink repair at your home in Aylestone
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks starting at the waste, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Your questions about sink repair in Aylestone
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How much does sink repair cost in Aylestone?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
