How we handle sink repair in Townwell

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and crazing in the glaze.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Townwell. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Townwell

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Do you come to Townwell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Townwell. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Townwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
