How we handle sink repair in Chelwood
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chelwood. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Chelwood
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:

FAQs for Chelwood
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Chelwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
