- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Sink repair at your home in Lydiard Green
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lydiard Green and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Lydiard Green
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Signs you need sink repair in Lydiard Green
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
What affects the price in Lydiard Green
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SN5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Lydiard Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What else we do in Lydiard Green
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
