About our sink repair in Irthlingborough
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and chips around the rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Irthlingborough get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Irthlingborough as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Irthlingborough
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched

FAQs for Irthlingborough
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What areas do you cover?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Irthlingborough?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Irthlingborough?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Irthlingborough
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
