Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

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

What we are called out for in Leycett

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Crazing in the glaze

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

FAQs for Leycett

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

How much does sink repair cost in Leycett?

Repairs 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 ST5 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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