Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about chips on a built-in basin and a period basin that needs restoring.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Addiscombe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Landlord and trade work in Addiscombe
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
