Sink repair at your home in Bilsby
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s chips around the rim and a chipped vanity basin, we can help, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about sink repair in Bilsby
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
