Sink repair at your home in Great Corby
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Common problems we fix in Great Corby
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Great Corby
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
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.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Corby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
