About our sink repair in Vastern
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Vastern questions
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

For landlords and businesses
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairing versus replacing in Vastern
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Vastern. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SN4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
