Sink repair in Empingham without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring

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.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Empingham
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Empingham. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
