Sink repair at your home in Caldwell
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Caldwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Signs you need sink repair in Caldwell
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Same prices wherever you are
