Sink Repair for Bovingdon homes
We travel to Bovingdon for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair in Bovingdon without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and crazing in the glaze, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- Normally one visit, start to finish

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
What affects the price in Bovingdon
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Bovingdon: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to Bovingdon?
We do. We send a technician to Bovingdon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
