What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we’re called out for in Setley
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Setley: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Repair or replace in Setley?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Setley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Setley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
