Sink repair at your home in Chale
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chale. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Questions from Chale
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you cover Chale?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chale and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
