DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Sink repair in Lydlinch, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Lydlinch
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Lydlinch
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Lydlinch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Lydlinch questions
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Lydlinch?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
