Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How we handle sink repair in Hickling Pastures
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hickling Pastures and across Leicestershire.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hickling Pastures
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hickling Pastures as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
