About our sink repair in Idlicote
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Idlicote as everywhere else we work.

Idlicote questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
How much does sink repair cost in Idlicote?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Common problems we fix in Idlicote
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A period basin that needs restoring

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Idlicote and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
