How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wethersfield. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wethersfield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go 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. Early repair keeps it a small job.

When to call us in Wethersfield

Common questions in Wethersfield
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
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 you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Wethersfield. Prices don’t change with location.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
