Sink repair in Lee-over-Sands, done in place
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Lee-over-Sands
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
Before you book anyone

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
