- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our sink repair in Baker's Cross
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Baker's Cross
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Baker's Cross?

Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Baker's Cross use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
