Sink repair at your home in Lower Saltonstall
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need sink repair in Lower Saltonstall?
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Clients typically contact us about:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Lower Saltonstall
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
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’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Lower Saltonstall questions
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Lower Saltonstall included. Travel is included in the price.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
