Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What else we do in Great Paxton
Your questions about sink repair in Great Paxton
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Great Paxton?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Great Paxton. Prices do not change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Great Paxton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
