About our sink repair in Paxton
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Paxton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Paxton
If you manage property in Paxton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for Paxton
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Northumberland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace in Paxton?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
