DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Anthill Common
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anthill Common as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Do you need sink repair in Anthill Common?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the entire UK

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
The process
There’s 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. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
