How we handle sink repair in Varchoel
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Varchoel. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Varchoel
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Varchoel questions
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
