Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
About our sink repair in Andover Down
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips, across vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Andover Down and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Andover Down: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Andover Down and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
