Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

  • Enamelled basins

Your questions about sink repair in Leighterton

Do you work in Leighterton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Leighterton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price
