- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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.
About our sink repair in Wardington
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about a crazed, tired basin and an original basin worth saving.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Wardington
Wardington: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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 will get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wardington
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wardington. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
Most customers in Wardington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need sink repair in Wardington?
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
