About our sink repair in Commonside
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and a crack near the taps, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Commonside
If you manage property in Commonside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Commonside get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
