Sink Repair in Tugby
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Tugby. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Tugby
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Common questions in Tugby
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work in Tugby?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Tugby and the rest of Leicestershire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
