About our sink repair in Chivenor
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Signs you need sink repair in Chivenor
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Common questions in Chivenor
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Chivenor?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Chivenor. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
