DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Calthwaite questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Calthwaite?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Calthwaite and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
