The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Your questions about sink repair in Tottleworth
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you cover Tottleworth?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Tottleworth and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Tottleworth and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Tottleworth and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
