Sink repair in Lythe without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Lythe?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
