Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
In and around Great Casterton, older homes can have basins that are hard to replace like for like. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.

Do you need sink repair in Great Casterton?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
For older houses around Great Casterton, near landmarks such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, it may still have original basins or a period toilet, which are worth repairing rather than replacing.

Questions from Great Casterton
Do you work for landlords with property near Stamford station?
Yes. We fix basins between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Do you come out to small places like Great Casterton?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, with the same prices as anywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Replacement in Great Casterton means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again. For a rural address like Great Casterton, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
