Sink repair in Ottringham, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a crack near the taps, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need sink repair in Ottringham?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
