How we handle sink repair in Lindley

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on a built-in basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lindley and across Leeds.

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Lindley: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Lindley?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

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 finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
