Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Do you need sink repair in Candy Mill?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Candy Mill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Candy Mill
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
