About our sink repair in Common End
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and crazing in the glaze.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common End: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you come to Common End?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Common End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What affects the price in Common End
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
