About our sink repair in Abbey Village
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common questions in Abbey Village
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Abbey Village. Prices don’t change with location.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Abbey Village
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
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.
