About our sink repair in Lyne
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace in Lyne?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Lyne
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Lyne, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
