Sink repair in Fleckney without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fleckney. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about sink repair in Fleckney
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Fleckney and the rest of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fleckney as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
