- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Sink repair at your home in Chalk Hill
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Chalk Hill
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Chalk Hill
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LU6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Chalk Hill
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common questions in Chalk Hill
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
