Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not 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 pictures.

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.

Leavening: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Leavening?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Leavening. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Repair or replace in Leavening?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Leavening. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in Leavening
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
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 them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Leavening, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
