Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair in Chilworth without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and crazing in the glaze.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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 affects the price in Chilworth
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Chilworth
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Chilworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Chilworth questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How much does sink repair cost in Chilworth?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
