Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Calthorpe. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Calthorpe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Calthorpe
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
