Sink Repair in Silsoe
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Silsoe, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on a built-in basin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Sink repair in Silsoe without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about sink repair in Silsoe
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work in Silsoe?
We do. We send a technician to Silsoe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silsoe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Silsoe
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Silsoe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
