Sink Repair for Candlesby homes
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Candlesby, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Candlesby questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover Candlesby?
We do. Technicians travel to Candlesby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Candlesby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Candlesby
For anyone letting property in or around Candlesby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
