About our sink repair in Lechlade-on-Thames
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and cracks starting at the waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What else we do in Lechlade-on-Thames
Landlord and trade work in Lechlade-on-Thames
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
