How we handle sink repair in Church Town
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks starting at the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Church Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Church Town: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Church Town?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Church Town. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
