The most common problems we are called about are:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Sink repair in Bedford without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Bedford
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you come to Bedford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bedford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bedford. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bedford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Bedford?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
