Sink repair in Wellsborough without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
