Sink repair at your home in Easington Lane
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Easington Lane as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Easington Lane, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Easington Lane

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Easington Lane, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace in Easington Lane?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Easington Lane. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
