Sink repair in Lavendon, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lavendon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

10 questions to ask before booking

Lavendon: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Lavendon is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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