Sink repair in Flete, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Flete. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairing versus replacing in Flete
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Flete. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Flete
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
