Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Essendine
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lincolnshire.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
