What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Blackfriars. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Landlord and trade work in Blackfriars
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
When to call us in Blackfriars
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
