About our sink repair in Chisworth
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving, we can help, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chisworth. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chisworth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Chisworth
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need sink repair in Chisworth?
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
