About our sink repair in Kelton
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and crazing in the glaze, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When to call us in Kelton
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repairs by material
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
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 sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What does sink repair cost?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
