About our sink repair in Great Knowley
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and fine cracks across the glaze.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Great Knowley questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Great Knowley?
We do. We send a technician to Great Knowley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What affects the price in Great Knowley
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Great Knowley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
