Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Sink repair at your home in North Witham
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with a crazed, tired basin and chips around the rim, we can normally put it right, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Common questions in North Witham
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know

- One picture of the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When to call us in North Witham
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

- An original basin worth saving

- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
