About our sink repair in Elmhurst
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
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.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Elmhurst

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elmhurst use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.

- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
