Repairing versus replacing in South Somercotes
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets

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

Your questions about sink repair in South Somercotes
Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?
Everywhere in the UK, South Somercotes included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LN11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Somercotes use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
