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

Sink repair in Calcott, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
If you’re in Calcott and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace in Calcott?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
