Sink repair in Crystal Palace without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, we can normally put it right, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
Homes in Crystal Palace frequently have compact bathrooms and cloakrooms, where a chipped basin is right in view. We repair it in place, without disconnecting anything.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it. In Crystal Palace, we’re used to flats, stairs and tight hallways. Everything we need fits in a few cases, and the room is protected before work begins.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common questions in Crystal Palace
Can you fix basins in a rental near Crystal Palace station?
Yes. Send photos and the address, and we will quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Can parking be a problem in Crystal Palace?
Usually it’s fine with a little planning: tell us about controlled parking zones, bays or a driveway.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
