How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about sink repair in Donnybrook Quarter
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
