Sink repair in Yettington, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Yettington questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What else we do in Yettington
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlord and trade work in Yettington
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
