Leasgill: your questions answered
How do I get a price for sink repair in Leasgill?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA7 postcode.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Leasgill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
