Sink repair in Osbaldeston Green without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an original basin worth saving.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Common problems we fix in Osbaldeston Green
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Common reasons people in Osbaldeston Green contact us include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Osbaldeston Green
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Osbaldeston Green as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Osbaldeston Green
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
