- Repairs from £95
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Sink repair in Kirby Bellars, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Kirby Bellars and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
- 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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

FAQs for Kirby Bellars
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is the work guaranteed?

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
