Common questions in Calverton
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How we handle sink repair in Calverton
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
