Common questions in Lyne Down
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you come to Lyne Down?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lyne Down for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How much does sink repair cost in Lyne Down?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Sink repair at your home in Lyne Down
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lyne Down and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Lyne Down
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
