Sink repair at your home in Childwick Green
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Childwick Green?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We don’t add 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.
