DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
About our sink repair in Blackgang
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and cracks starting at the waste.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
