How we handle sink repair in Abridge
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and a chipped basin edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- 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.

What affects the price in Abridge
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Abridge: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Abridge?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

What else we do in Abridge
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abridge use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
