Sink repair in Lea without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Advice
Lea: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DN21 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Lea
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Lea, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lea. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
For a price in Lea, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
