About our sink repair in Exning
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and fine cracks across the glaze, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Do you need sink repair in Exning?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Exning: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you come to Exning?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Exning from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the basin and check 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.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Landlord and trade work in Exning
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
