Sink repair in Pipe and Lyde, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pipe and Lyde. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
If you are in Pipe and Lyde and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Pipe and Lyde questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
