Sink repair in Covington without replacing anything
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Covington
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you work in Covington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Covington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What affects the price in Covington
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Covington. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures 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.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Covington

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
