Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Bugbrooke: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you work in Bugbrooke?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bugbrooke. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you remove the sink?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How much does sink repair cost in Bugbrooke?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

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.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Bugbrooke get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
