Sink repair at your home in Fillingham
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlord and trade work in Fillingham
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Fillingham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
