Sink repair at your home in Chettisham
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Chettisham
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CB6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Questions from Chettisham
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you come to Chettisham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chettisham and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Widespread crazing

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
