Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Sink repair in Hickleton, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Hickleton questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hickleton
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Hickleton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An antique basin with chips
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Hickleton
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What affects the price in Hickleton
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
