Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Questions from Birdlip
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Birdlip?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Birdlip.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Birdlip
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Birdlip
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Birdlip. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
