What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chiltington. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Chiltington
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Chiltington?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Chiltington included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
