- Repairs from £95

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Tarvin, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tarvin. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Questions from Tarvin
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?
Across the UK, and that includes Tarvin. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
