Sink repair in Scald End without replacing anything
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. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped toiletries and an original basin worth saving.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bedford Borough.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we’re called out for in Scald End
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

Landlord and trade work in Scald End
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
