Advice
How we handle sink repair in Estover
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What affects the price in Estover
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
