About our sink repair in Farringdon
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is generally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and an original basin worth saving.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Farringdon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
FAQs for Farringdon
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we’re called out for in Farringdon
