Sink repair in Sinnington, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Questions from Sinnington
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Sinnington

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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
