Work for landlords and builders

Sink repair at your home in Lyddington

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. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Our hiring checklist

Lyddington: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Lyddington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lyddington and the rest of Rutland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Rutland?

We cover the entire UK, including Lyddington and the rest of Rutland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 normally cheaper.
