Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Lane End: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What affects the price in Lane End
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lane End. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
