- Repairs from £95

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Bowden. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle sink repair in Little Bowden
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks around the tap holes or waste and knocks from hair straighteners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
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 repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Little Bowden
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Repair or replace in Little Bowden?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Little Bowden: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you cover Little Bowden?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Little Bowden and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
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. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
