Should you replace it?

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Chester Moor questions
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Chester Moor is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chester Moor. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
