How we handle sink repair in Camulodunum
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Camulodunum and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Camulodunum
- Belfast and butler sinks

- Antique & period basins
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Camulodunum use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded 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 room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Camulodunum: your questions answered
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Camulodunum?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO3 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Repairing versus replacing in Camulodunum
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
