The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Walkeringham
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Walkeringham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Walkeringham
For anyone letting property in or around Walkeringham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Walkeringham
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on the rim or front edge

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off 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 sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Walkeringham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Repair or replace in Walkeringham?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Walkeringham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
