How we handle sink repair in Slawston
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace in Slawston?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Slawston
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Slawston

- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Slawston questions
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What a repair can’t fix

- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
