About our sink repair in Chelveston
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs

- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Chelveston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about sink repair in Chelveston
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
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.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Chelveston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chelveston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
