Sink repair in Charlwood without replacing anything
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, in antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Charlwood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
