How we handle sink repair in Onston
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips from dropped toiletries.

What affects the price in Onston
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Onston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Onston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Onston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
