Sink repair in Quainton without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Quainton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about sink repair in Quainton
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Quainton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to Quainton?
We do. We send a technician to Quainton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
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.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
