About our sink repair in Commercial End
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice

What else we do in Commercial End
Common questions in Commercial End
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
