About our sink repair in Foxendown
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and crazing in the glaze, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Foxendown
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Landlord and trade work in Foxendown
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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 coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
