Sink repair in Lidsey, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
