Your questions about sink repair in Lea
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much does sink repair cost in Lea?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE4 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Antique & period basins

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What else we do in Lea
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lea. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Lea
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
