- Repairs from £95
- A crazed, tired basin

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days. Somewhere like Afton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the sink repair, so there’s no second trip.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit

How we handle sink repair in Afton
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
In a village like Afton, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, and those are worth keeping. We work around original marks where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently 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.
Signs you need sink repair in Afton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, toilets and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

Repair or replace in Afton?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Replacement in Afton means trades, travel and waste removal, while sink repair is one trip.
Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Your questions about sink repair in Afton
Can you restore the original basins in an older house in Afton?
Frequently, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.
Will you travel to Afton?
Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Afton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
