Sink & basin repair in Barwell, Leicestershire
Sink repair across Barwell and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace in Barwell?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
