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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What else we do in Barrowden
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about sink repair in Barrowden
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Barrowden.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What sink repair costs
