Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
FAQs for Aldingbourne
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Aldingbourne included. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Signs you need sink repair in Aldingbourne
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldingbourne use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
