How we handle sink repair in Borden
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and chips around the rim, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Borden
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Borden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we’re called out for in Borden
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
