Sink repair in Santon, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and fine cracks across the glaze.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Santon: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Santon. Prices don’t change with location.
Do I have to be there?

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to Santon?
We do. We send a technician to Santon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What else we do in Santon
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Santon
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
