Sink repair in Lennie

Sink repair in Lennie, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

What affects the price in Lennie

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need sink repair in Lennie?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
