About our sink repair in Castley

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Materials we work on in Castley

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we’re called out for in Castley

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Castley: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Castley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Landlord and trade work in Castley

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
