Sink repair in Walker, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks starting at the waste and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Walker
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Walker, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Walker: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
