The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • No need to remove anything

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sheldwich Lees

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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 will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Sheldwich Lees: your questions answered

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Sheldwich Lees

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
