Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Pelton Fell. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Pelton Fell, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How we handle sink repair in Pelton Fell
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and a crazed, tired basin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

What else we do in Pelton Fell
Your questions about sink repair in Pelton Fell
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Landlord and trade work in Pelton Fell
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
