DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What else we do in Hathern
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hathern use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need sink repair in Hathern?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
