Sink repair in East Dulwich without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in East Dulwich and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from East Dulwich
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in East Dulwich.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to East Dulwich. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
