How we handle sink repair in Delph

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and chips on the rim or front edge, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Delph: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairing versus replacing in Delph

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What to look for in a quote

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
