Upton questions
Are there extra charges for Upton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Do you need sink repair in Upton?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
