About our sink repair in Abbey Hills
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for a chipped vanity basin and a chipped basin edge, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
