How we handle sink repair in Chaldon Herring
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Chaldon Herring questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Chaldon Herring included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chaldon Herring
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Chaldon Herring. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
