How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What else we do in Mawdesley
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Mawdesley. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Mawdesley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Mawdesley
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Repairing versus replacing in Mawdesley
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start 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.

For landlords and businesses
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
