How we handle sink repair in East Hunsbury
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and an antique basin with chips.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Hunsbury use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in East Hunsbury

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for East Hunsbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

East Hunsbury: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for sink repair in East Hunsbury?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on

- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
