Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Do you need sink repair in Sleapshyde?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for these signs:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
