Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour-matched on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in Flixborough
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Your questions about sink repair in Flixborough
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
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 start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
