About our sink repair in Latton
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

When a repair is not the answer

Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Latton questions
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
