How we handle sink repair in Melksham
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix an antique basin with chips and a chipped vanity basin, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
For a price in Melksham, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Melksham
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Do you need sink repair in Melksham?
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
