Sink repair in Lionel without replacing anything

Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and crazing in the glaze, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.

Questions from Lionel
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

- Plumbing leaks

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What affects the price in Lionel
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lionel. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

Advice
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
