What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. Around Saxilby, access and parking are normally easy. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Saxilby
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
If you manage a building such as Saxilby Church of England Primary School, we repair toilets and washrooms as well as work in homes.
What your quote should include

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. For a home around Saxilby where the basin is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about sink repair in Saxilby
Can you repair basins in a rental near Saxilby station?
Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is usually quicker than replacing.
My house in Saxilby is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from photos.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
