How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Your questions about sink repair in Clapham
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you come to Clapham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Clapham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When to call us in Clapham
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips around the rim
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
