Sink repair in Malvern without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about sink repair in Malvern
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Malvern and the rest of Worcestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Malvern
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common problems we fix in Malvern
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
What affects the price in Malvern
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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 price.
Repair or replace in Malvern?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
