Sink repair at your home in Low Leven
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we are called out for in Low Leven
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered

- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Low Leven: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
