Sink repair in Cabin, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cabin
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Should I try a DIY kit 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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cabin. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace in Cabin?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets

FAQs for Cabin
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Cabin?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
