How we handle sink repair in Charleston
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and an original basin worth saving.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Charleston

Repair or replace in Charleston?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for 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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Charleston. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Charleston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Charleston
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Charleston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
