How we handle sink repair in Galhampton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What affects the price in Galhampton
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Galhampton. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
If you manage property in Galhampton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
