Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Sleaford
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Sleaford
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sleaford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
