Sink repair at your home in Besthorpe
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Besthorpe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Besthorpe
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Besthorpe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Besthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
