Repair or replace in Chelsworth?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Chelsworth, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Chelsworth: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chelsworth
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chelsworth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
