A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lintmill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

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 won’t last.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Lintmill

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Questions from Lintmill

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

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