Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the rim or front edge

- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Charlton customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our pricing.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Charlton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Charlton questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
