How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Chilton
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chilton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
See our pricing.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Questions from Chilton
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
