How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

About our sink repair in Lambley

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Lambley: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Signs you need sink repair in Lambley

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Lambley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
