Sink repair in Great Strickland, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Your questions about sink repair in Great Strickland
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Great Strickland?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Strickland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
What we are called out for in Great Strickland
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
