What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Leeming Bar. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you don’t 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.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Leeming Bar questions
How much does sink repair cost in Leeming Bar?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
