About our sink repair in Willesley
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Willesley and across Leicestershire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
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 tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Willesley and the rest of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is my repair covered?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
