How we handle sink repair in Casterton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and an original basin worth saving, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Casterton. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Casterton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Casterton questions
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
