DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Horton
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Horton
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to Horton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Horton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Horton?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
