FAQs for Bidwell
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Bidwell included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Sink repair in Bidwell without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bidwell as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
