Sink repair in North Gate without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months in North Gate and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Questions from North Gate
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lincolnshire.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
