Sink repair in East Lockinge without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in East Lockinge
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in East Lockinge, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
East Lockinge questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so East Lockinge is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Related advice
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Lockinge as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
