Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
About our sink repair in Walwen
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Walwen
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
