About our sink repair in Leadingcross Green
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and a crack near the taps, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

FAQs for Leadingcross Green
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
