How we handle sink repair in Perceton
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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 price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Perceton. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common questions in Perceton
Do you come to Perceton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Perceton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
