Sink repair at your home in Leintwardine
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Leintwardine questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY7 postcode.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Leintwardine
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our pricing.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Leintwardine
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
