Chicksands questions
Which areas do you work in?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Chicksands?
We do. Technicians travel to Chicksands from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we’re called out for in Chicksands
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
Repairing versus replacing in Chicksands
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
