How we handle sink repair in Kirkby la Thorpe
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Kirkby la Thorpe

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
