Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Helmdon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Sink repair in Helmdon without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with a crack near the taps and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts 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.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Helmdon
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
