Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair in Childerley Gate, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Childerley Gate
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Childerley Gate. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- 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 you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Childerley Gate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
