DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Sink repair in Donisthorpe without replacing anything
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlord and trade work in Donisthorpe
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Your questions about sink repair in Donisthorpe
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you work in Donisthorpe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Donisthorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repair or replace in Donisthorpe?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
