Sink repair in Bunce Common without replacing anything

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our prices page.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What affects the price in Bunce Common

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bunce Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
