How we handle sink repair in Smisby
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and a crack near the taps.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Landlord and trade work in Smisby
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Smisby
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about sink repair in Smisby
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Smisby?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Smisby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Smisby. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
