Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG24 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Other services in Lychpit
Landlord and trade work in Lychpit
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lychpit use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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 often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Lychpit
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions from Lychpit
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Lychpit is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How much does sink repair cost in Lychpit?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG24 postcode.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lychpit. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
