About our sink repair in Felden
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are crazing in the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries.
In a smaller place like Felden, most homes are houses and bungalows, some with long-standing suites. If a piece is chipped, repairing it keeps the suite together.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Felden
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Felden, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Felden
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. For a home around Felden where the basin is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Sink repair around Felden

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
