Frolesworth questions
Do you work in Frolesworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Frolesworth and the rest of Leicestershire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LE17 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What else we do in Frolesworth
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are

Common problems we fix in Frolesworth

- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For a price in Frolesworth, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
