Sink repair in Gelsmoor, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and an original basin worth saving.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gelsmoor and across Leicestershire.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gelsmoor. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Gelsmoor: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are there extra charges for Gelsmoor?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
