Lightwood questions
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Common problems we fix in Lightwood
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lightwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
See our prices page.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
