Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Signs you need sink repair in Lye Green

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Common reasons people in Lye Green contact us include:

  • A chipped vanity basin

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about sink repair in Lye Green

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Buckinghamshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Lye Green included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are there extra charges for Lye Green?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Period and antique

Composite and resin

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
