Sink repair in Acton without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Acton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN30 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Acton questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
