Sink repair in Hinton, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. 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.

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Common questions in Hinton
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Common problems we fix in Hinton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
