Sink repair in East Lyng, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in East Lyng, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
