Sink & basin repair in Minting, Lincolnshire
Damaged basin in Minting? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace in Minting?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- 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

- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Minting. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need sink repair in Minting
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Common reasons people in Minting contact us include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically 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 finish the repair to the same sheen.
