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. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

FAQs for Ellingham
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Ellingham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ellingham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get 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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
