Sink repair at your home in Scredington
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can help, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on

Do you need sink repair in Scredington?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge

Scredington: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Scredington
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
