Sink Repair in Lighthazles
Fixed-price sink repair in Lighthazles and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Common questions in Lighthazles
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
