DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle sink repair in Tingewick
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Tingewick
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tingewick as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
