Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What else we do in Greetham
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Greetham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Greetham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Questions from Greetham
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you come to Greetham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Greetham and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
