Sink repair in Colthrop, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Colthrop
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Common problems we fix in Colthrop
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
Before booking anyone

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
