What affects the price in Lockington
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Lockington. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlord and trade work in Lockington
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Lockington
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Lockington and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you need sink repair in Lockington?
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
