Sink repair in Charvil without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Charvil and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Charvil
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you come to Charvil?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Charvil for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Charvil. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
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
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we’re called out for in Charvil
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Common reasons people in Charvil contact us include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Charvil
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
