Sink repair at your home in Crays Hill
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and knocks from hair straighteners.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Questions from Crays Hill
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Crays Hill, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlord and trade work in Crays Hill
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
