We travel to Brothertoft for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

Your questions about sink repair in Brothertoft
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need sink repair in Brothertoft
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
