About our sink repair in Bottisham
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We’re often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and fine cracks across the glaze, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bottisham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Bottisham
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Bottisham
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips around the rim
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

- Enamelled basins

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Bottisham: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Why repair rather than replace?
