Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chastleton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
