Sink repair in Costhorpe without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips, in vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Costhorpe questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Costhorpe
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Costhorpe. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Common problems we fix in Costhorpe
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
