To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Chellaston: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
Common problems we fix in Chellaston
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
