Sink repair for Lindsey homes

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Sink repair in Lindsey without replacing anything

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Lindsey?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Lindsey questions

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do you work in Lindsey?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lindsey and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
