Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Sink repair in Chesterton, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped basin edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

FAQs for Chesterton
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Chesterton and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Common problems we fix in Chesterton
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chesterton. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Chesterton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chesterton
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
