DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Butterton. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ST13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Butterton customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Questions from Butterton

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
