Sink & basin repair in Hilton, Cambridgeshire
Damaged basin in Hilton? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Hilton
Swapping a basin frequently 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. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
