How we handle sink repair in Eddington
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Eddington and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Eddington questions
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
