Repairing versus replacing in Cheselbourne
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cheselbourne. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cheselbourne as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
