How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the entire UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Mellor
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover Mellor?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Mellor. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Landlord and trade work in Mellor
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
