Sink repair in Flitcham without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Flitcham
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Flitcham included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What affects the price in Flitcham
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Flitcham and want a price, 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.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Flitcham
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
