DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we handle sink repair in Luton
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Luton
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common problems we fix in Luton

- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Advice
Luton questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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 something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
