Sink repair in Addington 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. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Addington as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Addington. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Questions from Addington
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
