Sink repair in Fen Ditton, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with chips around the rim and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for Fen Ditton
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fen Ditton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Repairing versus replacing in Fen Ditton
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Fen Ditton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
