About our sink repair in Old Arley
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Old Arley questions
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Arley
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
