Sink repair at your home in Lee Head
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Lee Head
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Lee Head: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Lee Head?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Signs you need sink repair in Lee Head

Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
