What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Sink repair in Caenby without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze, across enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 generally cheaper.

Repair or replace in Caenby?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need sink repair in Caenby

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
