How we handle sink repair in Angel
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need sink repair in Angel
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What affects the price in Angel
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about sink repair in Angel
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you come to Angel?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Angel from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
