Sink Repair for Chop Gate homes
Damaged basin in Chop Gate? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Crazing in the glaze
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our sink repair in Chop Gate
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring, we can usually put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What else we do in Chop Gate
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we are called out for in Chop Gate
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Before booking anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site

- How changes to the job are handled
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
