About our sink repair in Holton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Holton
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Holton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Holton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Holton questions
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are there extra charges for Holton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
