How we handle sink repair in Old Ingarsby
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common questions in Old Ingarsby
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Old Ingarsby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Old Ingarsby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Old Ingarsby

- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Old Ingarsby, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
