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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace in Lynsore Bottom?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What else we do in Lynsore Bottom
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Lynsore Bottom get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in Lynsore Bottom
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
