Sink repair in Sharnford without replacing anything

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Landlord and trade work in Sharnford

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sharnford. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Sharnford, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace: which is better?
