Sink repair at your home in Yaxley
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Yaxley and across Cambridgeshire.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Everything repaired in place

What affects the price in Yaxley
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Yaxley, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Vitreous china

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
