How we handle sink repair in Scampton
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips on a built-in basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks

Common questions in Scampton
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you come to Scampton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Scampton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
