What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
When to call us in Syleham
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Common reasons people in Syleham contact us include:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
