Sink repair at your home in Hestingott
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Hestingott
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
