Sink repair at your home in Linstock
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
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 sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
