About our sink repair in Toft
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Toft and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Covering Toft
Toft is about 2 miles south-west of Bourne, in Lincolnshire. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so there is no waiting around. Toft is one of 732 towns and villages in Lincolnshire we cover. You can also see our page for Birmingham, about 65 miles away.
Jobs in PE10 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We also travel to Witham on the Hill (1 mile west), Carlby (2 miles south-west), Braceborough (2 miles south), Scottlethorpe (3 miles north-west) and Careby (3 miles west).

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What else we do in Toft
Common questions in Toft
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Toft. Prices don’t change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
