Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Chavey Down: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Chavey Down?
We do. Technicians travel to Chavey Down from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Chavey Down, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace in Chavey Down?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
