How we handle sink repair in Lea
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and a crack near the taps, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Lea
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How much does sink repair cost in Lea?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
