Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we handle sink repair in Egford
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What else we do in Egford
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Egford
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
