About our sink repair in Braunstone Town
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and a crack near the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Braunstone Town
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you come to Braunstone Town?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Braunstone Town and the rest of Leicester. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
