Sink repair in Elvendon without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Elvendon get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
What we are called out for in Elvendon
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Repair or replace in Elvendon?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Elvendon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
