About our sink repair in Lubenham

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and an original basin worth saving, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lubenham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. 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. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Your questions about sink repair in Lubenham

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Signs you need sink repair in Lubenham

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
