Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Sink repair in Caton Green without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Caton Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Caton Green
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caton Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
