About our sink repair in Chaldon
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.

Chaldon: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
