Sink repair for Strubby homes

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

Sink repair in Strubby without replacing anything

If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, across enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Strubby as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Your questions about sink repair in Strubby

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Signs you need sink repair in Strubby

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips around the rim

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Strubby and the surrounding area

Strubby is about 8 miles south-east of Louth, in Lincolnshire. Book a date that suits you, and we’ll give you an arrival time in advance, so there’s no waiting around. We cover all 732 towns and villages in Lincolnshire. We work right across the region, from Strubby to Leeds (about 79 miles away).

Here we cover the LN13 postcode area. That includes homes on Field Lane and Peter's Lane and the roads around them.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

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 we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
