Questions from Elton
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Elton?
We do. We send a technician to Elton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Elton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in Elton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
