About our sink repair in Leicester
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and a crack near the taps, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicester.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Leicester: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What affects the price in Leicester
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairing versus replacing in Leicester
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
