Chilton Street questions
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Chilton Street and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
For a price in Chilton Street, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.

What else we do in Chilton Street
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
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 crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
