Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in Gretton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Gretton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Gretton
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
The whole UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
