- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Sink repair in Castor, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Castor and across Peterborough.

What else we do in Castor
When to call us in Castor
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Castor
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
