Sink repair in Lady without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Lady
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Lady.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to Lady?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lady and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Lady
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
