Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Questions from Upper Staploe
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Upper Staploe?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Upper Staploe and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Staploe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace in Upper Staploe?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
