How we handle sink repair in Holbeach Drove
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We are often asked to fix a crack near the taps and a period basin that needs restoring, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Holbeach Drove. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Do you need sink repair in Holbeach Drove?
