Sink repair in Afton Park, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and fine cracks across the glaze, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight.

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
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.
What we’re called out for in Afton Park
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Afton Park. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

Common questions in Afton Park
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
