Sink repair in Edlington, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Edlington
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Edlington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
