Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Scarthingwell questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
