Your questions about sink repair in King's Caple
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
When to call us in King's Caple
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
