For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Common problems we fix in Eckington

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on a built-in basin

- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
FAQs for Eckington
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
