Sink repair in Osbaston Hollow without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
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. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Go 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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairing versus replacing in Osbaston Hollow
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
