Sink repair in Leicester Forest West without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leicester Forest West
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
