Cheddon Fitzpaine questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Sink repair at your home in Cheddon Fitzpaine
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and a crack near the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Cheddon Fitzpaine
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Landlord and trade work in Cheddon Fitzpaine
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
