Sink repair in Chartershall, done in place

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
