How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Sink repair in Bilton without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips, we can help, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Signs you need sink repair in Bilton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Landlord and trade work in Bilton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
FAQs for Bilton
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
