Sink Repair for Lyons homes
Our repair technicians come to Lyons for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Sink repair in Lyons without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Lyons
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lyons as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lyons. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Lyons
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
