Sink Repair in Fivelanes
Sink repair across Fivelanes and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Sink repair in Fivelanes, done in place
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. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace in Fivelanes?

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What else we do in Fivelanes
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Fivelanes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
