Sink Repair for Nimble Nook homes
Problem with your basin in Nimble Nook? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
