Sink repair in Balado without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Balado questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How much does sink repair cost in Balado?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Balado?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before booking

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Balado, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit 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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Balado
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
