Sink repair in Great Stretton, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What affects the price in Great Stretton
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Stretton. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
FAQs for Great Stretton
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Leicester?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Stretton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
