Sink & basin repair in Great Chishill, Cambridgeshire
Damaged basin in Great Chishill? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle sink repair in Great Chishill
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. 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 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
