Sink & basin repair in Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Fenstanton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Fenstanton questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you need sink repair in Fenstanton?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A crazed, tired basin
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
