About our sink repair in Beacon End
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. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Beacon End. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Beacon End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common questions in Beacon End
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Beacon End.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Different materials, different repairs
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
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
