Sink repair at your home in Saxon Street
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for chips around the rim and chips on a built-in basin, in Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
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.
Common questions in Saxon Street
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What a repair can’t fix

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
