Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Questions from Calcott
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY3 postcode.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Calcott. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site
Read our pricing.
How the visit works
On the day, 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.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
