About our sink repair in East End
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and chips from dropped toiletries.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Do you need sink repair in East End?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks starting at the waste

What affects the price in East End
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
East End: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
