Advice
How we handle sink repair in Tiddleywink
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tiddleywink. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Tiddleywink questions
Do you work in Tiddleywink?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tiddleywink and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are there extra charges for Tiddleywink?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What a repair cannot fix
