What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

Should you replace it?
Basins are often 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. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Beaumont Hill questions
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
