Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lindsell

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Lindsell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

  • A chipped basin edge
  • An antique basin with chips

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Lindsell: your questions answered

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Lindsell?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Lindsell?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lindsell.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover Lindsell?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lindsell and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
