Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Sink repair at your home in Levenwick
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Levenwick questions
Will you remove the sink?

Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a cracked basin?

What else we do in Levenwick
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Levenwick. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Levenwick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we are called out for in Levenwick
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Levenwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
