Sink repair in Gedney, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Gedney
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. 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. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Gedney questions
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lincolnshire.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gedney. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?

How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
