Sink repair in Cambridge Heath without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

When to call us in Cambridge Heath
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Repair or replace in Cambridge Heath?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
