Your questions about sink repair in Linstead Parva
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Linstead Parva?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What else we do in Linstead Parva
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
