Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
When to call us in Copse Hill
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

- The area is degreased and keyed.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Copse Hill questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Copse Hill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Copse Hill. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
