Sink repair in Lanjeth, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lanjeth. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Common questions in Lanjeth
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we do, step by step

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
