Sink repair at your home in Chawleigh
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and chips around the rim.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Chawleigh
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chawleigh. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
