Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Your questions about sink repair in Ickwell
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Ickwell?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Ickwell is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Ickwell
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
