About our sink repair in Little Parndon
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Little Parndon
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What affects the price in Little Parndon
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin 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.
