Sink repair in Farnborough without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your photos, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair in Farnborough without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a period basin that needs restoring, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Farnborough
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
