About our sink repair in Downton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Downton: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of 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 generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Downton
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: 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.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- One visit for most repairs

Landlord and trade work in Downton
If you manage property in Downton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
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.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
