How we handle sink repair in Lenton
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 antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Lenton?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lenton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Lenton questions
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you need sink repair in Lenton?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
