Sink Repair in Hinckley
Sink repair in and around Hinckley: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
About our sink repair in Hinckley
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and a chipped basin edge, we can help, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Hinckley?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Hinckley: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How much does sink repair cost in Hinckley?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
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.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
