How we handle sink repair in Draycot Foliat
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Draycot Foliat
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What else we do in Draycot Foliat
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
When to call us in Draycot Foliat
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
