Horton: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Horton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Sink repair in Horton, 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 so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
